A ‘Garden Raya’ blooms outside Beach Road flat

(PLS DO NOT USE PIX, PIX IS FOR PUBLICATION ON MARCH 21) Mr Ryan Qim (an alias), 49, a chef, adjusting his Hari Raya decorations outside his flat in Beach Road on March 9, 2026. He began decorating his apartment six years ago after noticing that the festive spirit of Hari Raya seemed to be fading, and now creates a different theme each year. This year’s “Garden Raya” theme was inspired by his love for flowers and the floral displays at Gardens by the Bay. Though a chef by profession, Mr Qim picked up interior design as a passion about 15 years ago and now does freelance consulting work on the side. His elaborate decorations have drawn the attention of neighbours, who often stop to take photos and compliment his work. His desire to decorate stems from childhood memories of his family adorning their home during Hari Raya, which brought relatives and neighbours together. To Mr Qim, Hari Raya is a time for family bonding, and he hopes his decorations help share the festive spirit with others. ST PHOTO: BRIAN TEO
